REMBAU – The seat distribution process between Barisan Nasional (BN) and Pakatan Harapan (PH) for the impending elections in six states has reached 90%.

BN deputy chairman Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan said there are one or two overlapping seats in six states involved.

This will require a decision from the Presidential Councils of both coalitions, he said.

“The overlapping issue is due to everyone's sense of winning these seats, so we leave it to the Presidential Council to decide, in order to look at it from a wider perspective.

“For example, in Negri Sembilan, 16 seats are already locked.

“Only one or two seats that both PH and BN want…we’ll leave that to the Presidential Council to decide,” he told reporters here today.

Earlier, he officiated the 47th annual general meeting of the Malaysian Armed Forces Veterans Association for Rembau branch here today.

Mohamad said for the seats that have been finalised, each party can start making preparations for the state polls.

“We don’t want work to stall just because of one or two seats,” he said.

The upcoming polls will involve six states namely Negri Sembilan, Selangor, Penang, Kelantan, Terengganu dan Kedah. – Bernama, June 17, 2023
